Dynamics characterization of modified Gross–Pitaevskii equation

The dynamics of dissipative and coherent N$N$-body systems, such as a Bose–Einstein condensate, which can be described by an extended Gross–Pitaevskii formalism, is investigated. In order to analyze chaotic and unstable regimes, two approaches are considered: a metric one, based on calculations of Lyapunov exponents, and an algorithmic one, based on the Lempel–Ziv criterion. The consistency of both approaches is established, with the Lempel–Ziv algorithmic found as an efficient complementary approach to the metric one for the fast characterization of dynamical behaviors obtained from finite sequences.     

Soliton lattices in the Gross–Pitaevskii equation with nonlocal and repulsive coupling

Spatially-periodic patterns are studied in nonlocally coupled Gross–Pitaevskii equation. We show first that spatially periodic patterns appear in a model with the dipole–dipole interaction. Next, we study a model with a finite-range coupling, and show that a repulsively coupled system is closely related with an attractively coupled system and its soliton solution becomes a building block of the spatially-periodic structure. That is, the spatially-periodic structure can be interpreted as a soliton lattice. An approximate form of the soliton is given by a variational method. Furthermore, the effects of the rotating harmonic potential and spin-orbit coupling are numerically studied.     

A minimisation approach for computing the ground state of Gross–Pitaevskii systems

In this paper, we present a minimisation method for computing the ground state of systems of coupled Gross–Pitaevskii equations. Our approach relies on a spectral decomposition of the solution into Hermite basis functions. Inserting the spectral representation into the energy functional yields a constrained nonlinear minimisation problem for the coefficients. For its numerical solution, we employ a Newton-like method with an approximate line-search strategy. We analyse this method and prove global convergence. Appropriate starting values for the minimisation process are determined by a standard continuation strategy. Numerical examples with two- and three-component two-dimensional condensates are included. These experiments demonstrate the reliability of our method and nicely illustrate the effect of phase segregation.     

New interaction solutions of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation

The residual symmetry relating to the truncated Painlev′e expansion of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili(KP) equation is nonlocal, which is localized in this paper by introducing multiple new dependent variables. By using the standard Lie group approach, new symmetry reduction solutions for the KP equation are obtained based on the general form of Lie point symmetry for the prolonged system. In this way, the interaction solutions between solitons and background waves are obtained, which are hard to find by other traditional methods.     

Application of Padé via Lanczos approximations for efficient multifrequency solution of Helmholtz problems

This paper addresses the efficient solution of acoustic problems in which the primary interest is obtaining the solution only on restricted portions of the domain but over a wide range of frequencies. The exterior acoustics boundary value problem is approximated using the finite element method in combination with the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) map. The restriction domain problem is formally posed in transfer function form based on the finite element solution. In order to obtain the solution over a range of frequencies, a matrix-valued Padé approximation of the transfer function is employed, using a two-sided block Lanczos algorithm. This approach provides a stable and efficient representation of the Padé approximation. In order to apply the algorithm, it is necessary to reformulate the transfer function due to the frequency dependency in the nonreflecting boundary condition. This is illustrated for the case of the DtN boundary condition, but there is no restriction on the approach which can also be applied to other radiation boundary conditions. Numerical tests confirm that the approach offers significant computational speed-up.     

Exact solutions of the Wheeler–DeWitt equation and the Yamabe construction

Exact solutions of the Wheeler–DeWitt equation of the full theory of four dimensional gravity of Lorentzian signature are obtained. They are characterized by Schrödinger wavefunctionals having support on 3-metrics of constant spatial scalar curvature, and thus contain two full physical field degrees of freedom in accordance with the Yamabe construction. These solutions are moreover Gaussians of minimum uncertainty and they are naturally associated with a rigged Hilbert space. In addition, in the limit the regulator is removed, exact 3-dimensional diffeomorphism and local gauge invariance of the solutions are recovered.     

Rogue wave solutions of the vector Lakshmanan–Porsezian–Daniel equation

We use a nonrecursive Darboux transformation method to obtain a special hierarchy of rogue wave solutions of the vector Lakshmanan–Porsezian–Daniel equation, which can govern the propagation of ultrashort optical pulses in a long-haul telecommunication fiber. In terms of the exact rational solutions, we demonstrate several interesting rogue wave dynamics such as rogue wave doublets, quartets and sextets. The modulation instability responsible for the excitation of rogue waves from an unstable continuous background in such a complex nonlinear system is also discussed.     

High precision solutions to quantized vortices within Gross–Pitaevskii equation

The dynamics of vortices in Bose–Einstein condensates of dilute cold atoms can be well formulated by Gross–Pitaevskii equation. To better understand the properties of vortices, a systematic method to solve the nonlinear differential equation for the vortex to very high precision is proposed. Through two-point Padé approximants, these solutions are presented in terms of simple rational functions, which can be used in the simulation of vortex dynamics. The precision of the solutions is sensitive to the connecting parameter and the truncation orders. It can be improved significantly with a reasonable extension in the order of rational functions. The errors of the solutions and the limitation of two-point Padé approximants are discussed. This investigation may shed light on the exact solution to the nonlinear vortex equation.     

Conserved Gross–Pitaevskii equations with a parabolic potential

An integrable Gross–Pitaevskii equation with a parabolic potential is presented where particle density ∣u∣² is conserved. We also present an integrable vector Gross–Pitaevskii system with a parabolic potential, where the total particle density ${\sum }_{j=1}^{n}| {u}_{j}{| }^{2}$ is conserved. These equations are related to nonisospectral scalar and vector nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Infinitely many conservation laws are obtained. Gauge transformations between the standard isospectral nonlinear Schrödinger equations and the conserved Gross–Pitaevskii equations, both scalar and vector cases are derived. Solutions and dynamics are analyzed and illustrated. Some solutions exhibit features of localized-like waves.

Exact solutions and localized excitations of (3+1)-dimensional Gross—Pitaevskii system

Periodic wave solutions and solitary wave solutions to a generalized (3+1)-dimensional Gross--Pitaevskii equation with time-modulated dispersion, nonlinearity, and potential are derived in terms of an improved homogeneous balance principle and a mapping approach. These exact solutions exist under certain conditions via imposing suitable constraints on the functions describing dispersion, nonlinearity, and potential. The dynamics of the derived solutions can be manipulated by prescribing specific time-modulated dispersions, nonlinearities, and potentials. The results show that the periodic waves and solitary waves with novel behaviors are similar to similaritons reported in other nonlinear systems.     

Photon condensation: A new paradigm for Bose–Einstein condensation

Bose–Einstein condensation is a state of matter known to be responsible for peculiar properties exhibited by superfluid Helium-4 and superconductors. Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) in its pure form is realizable with alkali atoms under ultra-cold temperatures. In this paper, we review the experimental scheme that demonstrates the atomic Bose–Einstein condensate. We also elaborate on the theoretical framework for atomic Bose–Einstein condensation, which includes statistical mechanics and the Gross–Pitaevskii equation. As an extension, we discuss Bose–Einstein condensation of photons realized in a fluorescent dye filled optical microcavity. We analyze this phenomenon based on the generalized Planck’s law in statistical mechanics. Further, a comparison is made between photon condensate and laser. We describe how photon condensate may be a possible alternative for lasers since it does not require an energy consuming population inversion process.     

Integrability of auto-Bäcklund transformations and solutions of a torqued ABS equation

An auto-Bäcklund transformation for the quad equation Q1₁ is considered as a discrete equation, called H2^a, which is a so called torqued version of H2. The equations H2^a and Q1₁ compose a consistent cube, from which an auto-Bäcklund transformation and a Lax pair for H2^a are obtained. More generally it is shown that auto-Bäcklund transformations admit auto-Bäcklund transformations. Using the auto-Bäcklund transformation for H2^a we derive a seed solution and a one-soliton solution. From this solution it is seen that H2^a is a semi-autonomous lattice equation, as the spacing parameter q depends on m but it disappears from the plane wave factor.     

Bounded multi-soliton solutions and their asymptotic analysis for the reversal-time nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation

In this paper, we construct the Darboux transformation (DT) for the reverse-time integrable nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation by loop group method. Then we utilize the DT to derive soliton solutions with zero seed. We investigate the dynamical properties for those solutions and present a sufficient condition for the non-singularity of multi-soliton solutions. Furthermore, the asymptotic analysis of bounded multi-solutions has also been established by the determinant formula.
